P.S. We didn't mention the "upcoming shows", but here is the list we have been maintaining:

In this special edition, Dan York sat down with Ken Camp out at the Internet Telephony conference in San Diego in October 2006 to talk about what Ken is doing. Ken is a speaker, author, blogger, independent consultant and is also the host of the Realtime/Unified Communications Community, which consists of a website, podcast, blog, web forums, document database and more. Ken's also just a great guy and is very literate in security matters. At the Internet Telephony conference, he was moderating multiple panel sessions on VoIP security, including one in which Dan is a panelist.

During the interview, Ken spoke about the sessions there at Internet Telephony, his background, what he's doing with the Realtime / Unified Communications Community and more. To read more about what Ken is doing, you can visit:

We appreciate Ken taking the time to speak with us and hope you all enjoy the interview as well.

December 01, 2006

Given that I (Dan) am going to be over in London in the United Kingdom next week to speak at a Mitel reseller event, we thought we might do a little dinner with Blue Box listeners / VOIPSEC readers. Martyn Davies is helping and there are already several people coming. So if the thought of hanging out with some other folks interested in VoIP security is of interest, the details are as follows:

DATE: Thursday, December 7, 2006TIME: TBD, but probably 6 or 7pm-ishWHERE: Either "Belgo" or "Kettner" in the Soho - Covent Garden area (see the comments for more info)

I'll update this entry as we finalize info, but if you are interested in attending, please do drop an email to blueboxpodcast@gmail.com with the subject "London Blue Box Dinner" so that we can get an estimate of how many people will be attending. Looking forward to meeting some of our UK listeners!

Full Disclosure

Jonathan Zar is affiliated with Pingalo and is the Secretary of VOIPSA and member of the Board of Directors.

This is a personal project and neither the Internet Society, Pingalo nor VOIPSA have any formal connection to this podcast. In the interest of transparency we just thought you should know our affiliations.

Why "Blue Box"?

We chose the name "Blue Box" primarily as a nod to the era of phone phreaking in part to illustrate that threats to telephony are not new - they just continue to change and evolve. That and admittedly the name just sounded cool.
